During an interview with The Washington Post, Stan Lee famously said, “I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And, then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain people, you’re doing a good thing.”

And, we’re glad that he never lost hope.

While the whole world is mourning his death, we can’t help but thank the guy for making our lives better through his comics (and his unanticipated cameos).

Let’s take a look Stan Lee’s seven best cameo appearances in a few Marvel movies.

1. Captain America: The First Avenger

In case you didn’t know, Stan Lee was in the Signal Corps before he worked on scripts for the Training Film Division. So, his cameo appearance as a general doesn’t come as a surprise. Mistaking another person for the real Captain America, Stan Lee said, “I thought he’d be taller.”

2. Hulk

The guard you saw coming out of Bruce Banner’s lab, grumbling about how unsecure the security is to another guard, was Stan Lee.

3. Captain America: Civil War

During a serious conversation between Tony Stark and Rhodey, old man Stan comes in as a FedEx agent who is unable to read the name on the parcel. He asked, “Are you Tony Stark?”

4. Deadpool

Stan Lee has no connection with Deadpool because he never wrote the comic in the first place. But here, you see him as the DJ in a strip club. Talk about R-rated!

5. The Amazing Spider-Man

Do you remember that iconic scene where Spidey was seen fighting a lizard and he ends up crashing into a school library? Well, Spidey and the lizard were not the only ones in the library.

6. Big Hero 6

Little did we know that Big Hero 6 was based on a comic? Given its hidden premise, Stan Lee’s appearance was a must. If you didn’t catch him, you most probably didn’t watch the post-credit scene of the movie.

7. Iron Man

We always thought Stan Lee would make a perfect Hugh Hefner. Well, in Iron Man, he was spotted doing exactly what the Playboy creator would do on the Red Carpet – hanging out with the bunnies!
